way to the new basalts as more and more
materials are deposited is:
A Plate tectonics
B Continental drift
C Sea floor spreading
D Isostacy
9.
Why does the climate of the South Cameroon
Low- Plateau have two periods of high rainfall
“double maxima” per year
A The influence of trade winds from the
Northern and the Southern Hemispheres
B Nearness of this climate to the Atlantic
Ocean and the presence of the rainforest
C Passage of the Inter-tropical
Convergence Zone twice a year
I) Presence of the rainforest and high
atmospheric humidity
